Real Life Application in Science
	Poor 1 pts	Fair 2 pts	Good 3 pts	Excellent 4 pts
Content of Examples	Poor examples are: - unclear - do not show a clear connection to the topic being taught - cluttered and confusing	Fair examples: - show some connections to the theory and topics; however, many of the examples are confusing and unclear	Good examples: - almost all show clear connections to the topic being taught - a few of the examples could have been explained a little more clearly or shown a better connection to the topic	Excellent examples are: - highly understandable - show a definite connection to the topic being taught - simple and easy to follow
Context of Examples	Poor examples are: - entirely theory-based - no connections to real-life - prevent students from drawing on prior experiences	Fair examples: - are sometimes used to show real-life connections - real-life connections are not clear without an in-depth explanation - students are unable to make connections to their own experiences	Good examples: - do a good job of portraying real-life connections - a few of the examples could have shown real-life examples a little more clearly - students can almost always draw on their prior experiences	Excellent examples are: - entirely applicable to real-life - interjected well with the theory and terminology - allow for students to recall previous experiences regularly and in context
Mechanics of Lesson	Poor - inconsistent, choppy flow - lesson not completed because time has run out - lesson ends well-before the end of the period - lesson feel rushed	Fair - flow is somewhat consistent, however, examples and activities are interjected at random points - lesson feels rushed	Good - lesson flow is pretty smooth, though some examples seem randomly interjected - activities and examples used are addressed in a timely manner and nothing feels too rushed	Excellent - lesson flows nicely from topic to topic - examples and theory are intertwined in an effective, logical way - activity and lecture time fit well into time-limit - no component of the lesson feels rushed
Student Engagement	Poor - no student involvement (i.e. no questions asked) - lesson is entirely teacher-led; students don't speak for the entire lesson	Fair - students are asked minimal questions for the clarity of their understanding, however, they are not allowed to contribute their own thoughts, questions, and ideas - questions asked are of the "yes or no" nature	Good - students are asked questions regularly, however, questions tend to be more of the "yes or no" style - students are provided time to share their ideas and thoughts and ask their own questions	Excellent - students are asked questions regularly - students are asking their own questions and allowed plenty of time to contribute their own thoughts (i.e. enough wait-time provided) - lesson is student-oriented, rather than teacher-oriented
